What about multiple monitors? I sometimes see my terminals overlap
xmobar, but moving between workspaces (even just focusing another
monitor), or switching the focused window with <prefix>j makes the
struts apply again. My xmobars usually take a while on first login
because the network isn't up yet and the Weather plugin is timing out,
but I've seen it on subsequent logins where I open a terminal quickly as
well.

Could it be that xmonad only checks for struts when something changes
and doesn't get notified on their creation?
